Beyond My ExpectationsMay 22, 2011

by Kenneth A. Harden

I purchase my college text books through ecampus and the purchase is very smooth. The price is very suitable and the book arrived earlier than the delivery date and in a very good condition for a used textbook exactly as a described. The seller was also very helpful and responded to my emails very quickly. Ecampus provided excellent customer service, therefore, I will, without a doubt purchase books from this company in the future.
